Eridani Sector

The Eridani Sector lies coreward of the Achernar Sector within the Segmentum Pacificus. It contains a number of sub-sectors. Notable worlds include Thonis, chapter homeworld of the Cobalt Scions. Imperial control of the sector is patchy. The isolated colonies of the Iolan Reaches suffer from frequent enemy raids, while regions such as the Targean Veil and the Neophrae remain largely uncharted.

Sector History and Culture

Pre and post-Consolidation

For millennia, the sub sectors of Eridani were entirely separate regions. Geographic features such as the Pherean Rift and the sparse population of the Iolan Reaches naturally cut off areas from each other. The worlds of the Saedran sub kept frequent contact with the Graiae and the worlds of Alyria, but had nothing to do with the populous worlds of Massylea. It was only when the Iolan Reaches started to be colonised that trading routes encouraged the Adeptus Terra to consolidate the region into one sector. Despite the consolidation occurring millennia ago, the different regions' cultural identities remain somewhat distinct, and relatively independent.
